Saving Time With Catch Up TV

By using the “watch live” button on channels such as ESPN, you can still see the game in real time and catch up just by logging in. You are no longer limited to watching the same commercial breaks. When there is a stop in action the screen just goes quiet allowing you to leave the room and come back when you hear the show back on. If you are watching regular full episodes, you will be subject to fewer, shorter commercial breaks, making an hour long viewing only take 45 minutes. This shaves valuable time off your limited viewing times.

How to Watch Catch Up TV

You can view full episodes directly from the network websites within the first few weeks of them airing. If you miss that opportunity, you can buy the shows via apps like iTunes, Vudu or from other movie apps providers or stores. Often you can purchase whole seasons of a particular show or just one or two episodes. It all depends on what you like to do.

When you've purchased the TV shows of course you can watch them any time even when you are on planes or are otherwise away from a WiFi connection as the full episodes are stored on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

The Future of Catchup TV

As people become more and more used to using the computer to catch up missed TV shows, it will probably become the preferred delivery method for many reasons.

As long as full episodes can be streamed over the web, it will help to cut out the middleman, making the need for laying expensive television cable more and more obsolete. In addition, everyone will begin freeing themselves from the time table laid out by traditional TV schedules. This gives the viewer the ability to dictate how and when they watch TV, which results in changes in how the advertising platforms and networks will make their money.

While there will likely always be some version of traditional TV it will become less imperative to have cable or some DirectTV connect. This means it will become even easier to catch up TV from mobile devices as time goes on.
